Ingo Jahn

Ingo Jahn is a Professor at The University of Queensland's School of Engineering. His academic career spans roles including R&D at Rolls-Royce (2007–2012) and academic positions at The University of Queensland (2012–2022). He holds an MEng (Oxford, 2005) and PhD (Oxford, 2011).

Education:

• MEng in Engineering, University of Oxford (2005)
• PhD in Aerospace Engineering, University of Oxford (2011)

Research Interests:

• Hypersonics: vehicle design, glide trajectory optimization, and aerothermodynamics
• Fluid Dynamics: computational methods, turbulence, and flow control
• Control Systems: model predictive control and co-design frameworks
• Thermodynamics: heat transfer in supercritical CO2 cycles and thermal protection systems

His work bridges theoretical and experimental approaches, with a focus on hypersonic vehicle integration and propulsion systems.

Publications: Recent articles emphasize hypersonic vehicle co-design, fluid-structure interaction, and experimental methods. Key themes include trajectory optimization, thermal management, and advanced simulation techniques.

Grants & Awards: No awards explicitly listed, but extensive industry collaboration (e.g., Rolls-Royce) and leadership in high-impact projects indicate significant recognition.

Supervision: Currently supervising 8 doctoral students on topics like hypersonic co-design, unstart prevention in ramjets, and scramjet trajectory optimization.

Affiliations: Institute for Advanced Engineering and Space Sciences, AIAA, ASME. Active in conferences like AIAA SciTech and Global Power and Propulsion Society events.
